Product description & features

EcoContact 6 is the ecological summer tyre of the range which focuses on low rolling resistance and long life tread. EcoContact 6 uses Green Chili 2.0 compound, which provides lower tread wear. Compound consists of polymer-silica, reducing energy loss on rolling resistance and improving tyre deformation. Asymmetric tread pattern with larger outer blocks provides dry steering, inner blocks are closed with water dispersion grooves.

EcoContact 6 is the upgraded version of EcoContact 5, where Continental says that EcoContact 5 is 15% better in terms of rolling resistance and 20% more durable as far as its tread wear is concerned. There are also types in the EcoContact 6 series that are made for electric cars and hybrids. Electric cars and hybrids affect the contact patch of the tyre owing to their weight and torque. We have EcoContact 6 tyres at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Low rolling resistance
  • Longer tread life
  • Asymmetric tread with larger outer blocks

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 6 205/45R17 88H XL
These tyres make me quite happy. They are fairly good in handling for all conditions and are much quieter than my last set of tyres, which is especially important for an electric vehicle.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 6 205/45R17 88H XL
Great tyres for performance and durability. I exchanged them for the same model, expecting the price increase for improved fuel economy and being more environmentally friendly to justify the cost, but it didn't. I should have gone with the marginally cheaper option and saved £50.
